The Importance of Carpet Cushion - Part 2 June 18, 2008
- The carpet pad actually determines the comfort of carpet rather than the carpet
- Floor Covering stores often only carry one or two types of padding because they buy in bulk. Other types can be special ordered.
- It is best to buy carpet cushion that is not too soft or too hard. Soft padding doesn’t absorb the shock as well leaving the carpet to take the rest of the impact.
- Thicker padding is not always better than thinner padding. Individual needs are more important to consider when determining what carpet cushion is needed.
- All carpet pad does not have to be the same in one house. Different rooms with different lifestyles can benefit from different types of cushion.
